The media has been the fifth column for decades.
Forget TikTok (China) & YouBoob (Controlled Speech & Censor), join #Twitter & Rumble, platforms for FREE SPEECH. Has FreeRepublic entertained opening a Rumble Channel?

Some of these media properties are owned by conservatives like John Malone at CNN parent majority stock guy but he’s been unable to budge them much sadly

Kurtz when describing a less than trustworthy media is describing himself.
